Mike Lindell must pay $5 million to person who debunked his alleged evidence for voter fraud... turned out the "evidence" was the actual fraud. We have seen unequivocal evidence that not only was the election not stolen, but that the people shilling it knew it wasn't stolen. Yet, how many still believe there were issues?

Orange is selling "Sneakers." Mike needs to sell crying pillows with some gold lace or filigree with custom made messaging. The poor guy has bills to pay. Open the grift gate, Mike!

I'm sure it will. And yet it won't stop him.

Back in the 80s I used to watch televangelists for the sheer entertainment value. Pat's 700 Club, Jim and Tammy, etc. Then I cheered when they got taken down by scandals and bankrupted.

Lo and behold, when I was in that weird "what's on TV?" time between when I cut cable and hadn't yet found my preferred streaming services, what did I see?

Jim Bakker on the "Daystar Network." The televangelists that John Oliver so rightly lampooned in his show were out in full force, and raking in money. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Mike Pillow shifted his business to selling his product on the "praise be" networks with a sprinkling of "Jesus helped me overcome my addiction to crack...now buy my pillow and a prayer cloth to cover it with...just $59.99 and your purchase helps spread the gospel!"

I can hear the fake phones ringing right now....

The Supreme Court will take up the case of complete immunity that Trump claims he has. Only they will take it so far in the future it virtually guarantees the actual trial won't take place until after the election.

Trump Supreme Court

Yes. But it will take place. It certainly would have been better had the court simply declined, But there will be a trial and Orange Psycho won't prevail.

And even if it does get pushed past the election, and he actually wins, will the court say "okay, we were dead set against ruling you didn't have immunity because you held onto the documents and hid them when you weren't President, but now that you're President again you're totally immune?"

I'm skeptical of that happening...but then again...if he's President then and they rule he broke the law, he might just assert executive privilege and have his DOJ refuse to enforce it. Will (acting) Attorney General Habba enforce the law?

Arizona investigators issue grand jury subpoenas as state’s 2020 Trump election probe accelerates

It was not clear whether Mayes is considering charges against people close to Trump’s national campaign, or whether her investigation remains focused on the Arizona GOP officials and activists who aided Trump’s bid to overturn the state’s presidential results. In November, Mayes told CNN that the investigation is “robust.”

Mayes’ investigators are scrutinizing the so-called “alternate electors” who signed paperwork falsely claiming that Trump had won the state. Prosecutors in Georgia, Michigan and Nevada have already brought charges against pro-Trump fake electors in their states.

Mayes’ team has also asked people about Trump himself, as well as former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Trump attorneys John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro.

Pro-Trump attorney arrested after hearing on leaked Dominion documents

Stefanie Lambert, an attorney charged with illegally accessing Michigan voting machines after the 2020 election, was arrested in Washington on Monday after a hearing in a case related to leaked confidential emails from Dominion Voting Systems, according to U.S. Marshals Service.

Lambert was arrested by Marshals on “local charges” related to another case in Michigan, after a judge issued a bench warrant earlier this month when Lambert did not show up to a hearing, The Associated Press reported. After the arrest, she was turned over to the D.C. Metropolitan Police for holding, U.S. Marshals Service spokesperson Brady McCarron said in an email.

Lambert faces four felony charges for accessing voting machines in Michigan in an effort to find evidence supporting former President Trump’s false claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

The hearing Monday — after which Lambert was arrested — focused on whether she should be sanctioned or removed as an attorney for former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne in a defamation case brought by Dominion Voting Systems. Lambert is representing Byrne, who is accused of spreading false claims that Dominion’s voting machines played a role in the so-called “fraud” during the 2020 presidential election.

Everything old is new again. The news that Donald Trump is bringing Paul Manafort back into his campaign follows on the heels of his announcement that he can't come up with the money to pay off his almost half billion payment for fraud. Trump is desperate for money, and we suddenly see this renewed push to bring back a convicted felon who was found guilty of lying about the Trump campaign's 2016 connection to a Russian intelligence operative. The suspicion is that Trump will find the money he needs, because it is a hook that hostile foreign nations can use to subvert US foreign policy, if Trump is reelected. In any case, Manafort served as a liaison with Russia in the past, and he will certainly be used in that capacity in Trump's current campaign.

Below is an interview with Adam Schiff, the likely next US senator from California.

Trump's troubling choice? Manafort allegedly tied to Russian intelligence top Dem warns​

BTW, despite the headline, Manafort's tie to Russian intelligence is not merely alleged, but known to be true. Lying about it to the FBI was what he was convicted for. Of course, Trump pardoned the man shortly before leaving office, but a pardon does not absolve the crime. It merely cancels the penalty for having committed the crime.

REALLY!
Media need stop soft-peddling the treasonous nature of the GOP and call things what they are.

Well, he is all in for Trump winning in 2024. Then he can be Sec of Treasury and print himself millions. Otherwise, the dude completely made with an own goal.

So now Trump lawyers are trying "free speech" in Georgia case.

“There is nothing alleged factually against President Trump that is not political speech,” Sadow argued. “Take out the political speech. No criminal charges.”

Sadow suggested that Trump had been charged in Georgia because prosecutors believed the former president’s statements were untrue. But he told Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who is presiding over the case, that even false statements made in campaign or election statements are still protected speech under the First Amendment.

“The mere fact that it’s false is all that they have,” Sadow said.

Am I the only one to notice Trump's lawyer appears to be admitting Trump knew he lost Georgia and wanted to 'find the votes' to win, which would indicate he was indeed conspiring to commit election fraud?

 

[Elixir]

Am I the only one to notice...

Not by a long shot. The talking heads are having a field day talking about "in furtherance of a criminal act...".

Republican official who claimed voter fraud found to have voted illegally nine times

‘Even if the Court accepts he did not know about his felony sentences, the record before this Court demonstrates that he should have known,’ judge wrote

www.independent.co.uk

A Republican official claimed that the 2020 election was plagued with voter fraud. Now a judge has ruled that he voted illegally 9 times​

A Republican official in Georgia has been found by a judge to have voted illegally nine times even as he pushed former President Donald Trump’s false claims of fraud in connection to the 2020 election.

The first vice chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, Brian Pritchard, has been fined $5,000 for voting and registering to vote while serving a sentence for a felony.

Administrative Law Judge Lisa Boggs backed the State Election Board’s findings in a 25-page ruling on Wednesday, saying that Pritchard voted unlawfully nine times while under extended probation for felonies going back almost three decades.


Following an initial forgery conviction in Pennsylvania in 1996, his three-year probation was revoked thrice – when he moved to Georgia in 1999, as well as in 2002 and in 2004, when a judge set a new sentence of seven years of probation, meaning that Pritchard couldn’t vote in the state until 2011, according to NBC News.

But Pritchard filled out a voter registration form with the Gilmer County’s Board of Elections in 2008.

He also signed a statement saying he was “not serving a sentence for having been convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude”.

In 2008, he cast four ballots in the primary and general elections, as well as runoffs – two years later, in 2010, he cast five ballots in primary, general, and special elections.

Damn. He should know.

Jesus fucking christ!

Justices Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Brett M. Kavanaugh questioned the government’s use of the “obstruction of an official proceeding” charge, and whether Congress meant to turn illegal and disruptive protesting, a misdemeanor punishable by only a year or less in prison, into a felony that carries a potential 20-year sentence.

Wasn’t it odd to tuck such a broad, “catchall” obstruction prohibition (under the government’s interpretation) that carries such a severe penalty in the middle of an statute, Kavanaugh asked. And was it not extreme to accept its 20-year maximum penalty, when a similar offense in the next provision carried only a three-year penalty, Alito asked.

U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth B. Prelogar said no, she did not think was odd; it was in exactly the right place. Congress wrote the statute trying to broadly prohibit obstruction offenses. And the provision in question followed a passage that punishes the crime of killing witnesses with an even stiffer penalty — up to life in prison.

So Congress being evacuated in response to an invasion designed to try and overthrow the election is an issue because peaceful protests could be prosecuted just as hard? WTF?!

They are going hyper-technical again to come out with a very dangerous precedence.

Look you can only charge them if they intended to and actually accomplished overthrowing the election results.
